RESOLVED -

 

That the closure of Shadon House Promoting Independence Centre in Autumn 2021 be approved.

 

 

 

The above decision has been made for the following reasons:

 

 

 

 

(A)

To facilitate the transition into the new 60 bedded Intermediate Care Centre in Felling in late 2022, which will ensure all residents of Gateshead are provided with seamless short term Intermediate, Assessment and Nursing Care to meet their needs and to support them to continue living independently within their own homes.

 

 

 

 

(B)

To enable the delivery of the £0.3m budget saving in 2021/22.
